Four-time NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal was a powerhouse on the court, an absolute force of nature. Stopping Shaq in a one-on-one matchup? Forget about it. Fast forward to today, and not much has changed. Whether it’s dominating on the hardwood or throwing verbal jabs at the NBA on TNT, The Big Aristotle is undefeated. And recently, Shaq proved yet again that out-arguing him is just as impossible as outplaying him.

While dissecting the matches, an old picture of Shaq from his Celtics days suddenly popped up on the screen. It was one of those moments that demanded commentary, and Ernie Johnson couldn’t resist. He quipped, “Shaq, you’re in better, much better shape now.” The jab landed perfectly, lighting up the room and setting the stage for Shaq’s signature quick-witted comeback.

Shaq’s comeback? Absolutely priceless. He delivered the perfect response with his trademark humor and swagger, saying, “I’m tripping, I have four rings and four states, and four houses, and four planes.” Classic Shaq. It wasn’t just a clapback, it was a humblebrag flex about his larger-than-life achievements. The man basically said his empire is so massive, it’s hard to keep up. And just like that, Shaq silenced Johnson by doing what he does best, flaunting his legendary status with a dose of comedy.

NBA Rivals Week is on, and Shaq, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson were dissenting each of the games. The spotlight turned to the Milwaukee Bucks’ clash with the Miami Heat. And right after this, Shaq’s photo popped up. And started something fans love to watch. Speaking of Shaq, do you guys know that he has shared some of his greatest aspirations for the new year?
